The Tourette’s syndrome was described for the first time in 1885 by Geroges Albert Édouard Brutus Gilles de la Tourette as a nervous system disorder characterised by uncoordinated movements, echolalia and coprolalia. However only in late 70s the syndrome started to be extensively researched as a most common cause of ticks.
The paper presents the classification of ticks as cardinal features of the Tourette’s syndrome and reviews its symptomatology and prevalence. It also presents modern approach to the pathophysiology and treatment of the Tourette’s syndrome and the co-occurring entities.
